Items

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has urged people to pledge money - not clothes or food - to his state's communities, saying they don't have the time, space or people to sort through items.

"I don't want to appear harsh in any way, but we don't need any more clothes, food, trucks on our roads," he said on Sunday.

"I know it all comes from a place of kindness and I thank everybody who's made those donations."

The CFA, Victoria's rural fire service, echoed that call: "Experience tells us that donation of money is much more effective and provides more flexibility than the donation of material items or pre-loved goods."
